“Cough... cough...” I kept waving my hand near my nose as I cautiously approached the spot where the object had fallen.

Damn! These days, you hear about meteors falling from the sky, or even airplanes, and sometimes even space shuttles. But what I ran into is even crazier! A person fell from the sky! Too bad it wasn’t some Lin Daiyu, but instead an old Western man dressed in a golden robe, wearing a golden crown, and a ring with a pearl the size of a cat’s eye on his finger.

The old man was lying on the ground, barely breathing, with wounds all over his body, blood flowing like a little stream. One look and you could tell he was about to kick the bucket.

What kind of luck do I have today? First, I accidentally killed someone and just escaped the scene. Now, heaven sends me another dying old man, and even throws him into my house. Even if I had a hundred mouths, there’s no way I could explain this.

“Young... young man...” The old man moved his lips, speaking awkward Chinese, his hand with the big pearl ring trembling as he reached out to me.

Young man? Young your head! I already killed someone by accident today, running away was inevitable, and now you, old man, come to make things worse! Watch me... The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and I raised my foot, ready to stomp on the old man’s wrinkled face.

Moonlight shone through the hole in the roof, reflecting off the old man’s ring, and a flash of light made me stop my urge to kick him.

Right! You need money to run away these days! This ring must be worth quite a bit, right? Thinking of this, I grabbed the old man’s hand and started yanking hard at the ring.

“You... you... you...” The old man was stunned by my sudden action. After stammering for a while, he finally said, “How dare you! I am the Pope! God’s representative on earth...”

“God? You’re what of God? If you really were, would you end up in this sorry state? Looks like God isn’t all that great~” I was getting anxious about not being able to get the ring off, and snapped at the old man’s nonsense. Besides, I worship Guan Yu, what does your God have to do with me?

“You~...”

Damn! Looks like this ring isn’t coming off. Might as well just cut the finger off! I turned and picked up the kitchen knife I usually just use for decoration from the table.

“You...! I am the Pope! How can I be humiliated like this!” The old man saw me raise the shiny kitchen knife, ready to chop his hand off like a pig’s trotter, and shouted in anger, his already blood-covered face turning even redder, almost purple.

Looks like this old man’s got a screw loose, going on and on about being the Pope. Does he really think the real Pope isn’t comfortably hiding out in the Vatican, cuddling with girls? Would he really be playing at being a skydiver, and end up almost meeting God himself?

“Ah~~!” With a miserable scream, I chopped off the old man’s finger with the big pearl ring, and blood sprayed all over my face.

Now that I had the ring, the old man was useless. I tossed his arm aside and once again tried hard to pull off the ring.

Pop! The ring didn’t come off, but the big pearl, unable to withstand the force, popped out of the ring. The pearl shot up into the air, glowing with a gentle light under the moonlight.

“Wow~~” Seeing this, I couldn’t help but open my mouth in amazement.

The pearl flying in the air suddenly seemed to have a mind of its own. Instead of falling down as gravity would dictate, it suddenly darted straight into my open mouth.

“Mmm~~” Just as the pearl entered my mouth, I happened to be swallowing, and just like that, the pearl I had just gotten was swallowed down as if it were some kind of beauty supplement.

“You actually... you actually swallowed the Holy Pearl... Unforgivable!” The old man screamed like a madman, his whole body swelling up like a balloon.

Seeing the old man’s expression, I felt a bit uneasy and asked, “What pig did I swallow?”

“Come meet God with me!” As soon as the old man said this, his body swelled to the limit, and at the same time, my stomach began to emit a strong white light, making the dark little room as bright as day.

Boom! With a loud bang, a flash of red light appeared before my eyes, and I completely passed out.

Chapter Two: Live-in Son-in-law?

“He’s awake! Look, he’s awake!” “This guy’s really tough...” “Yeah, yeah... falling from the sky and still alive, what luck...” “!·#￥%……—”

I groggily opened my eyes, a sharp pain all over my body making me moan involuntarily. “Ah~~.”

Looking at the people in front of me, all dressed in coarse, oddly styled clothes, a thought flashed through my mind: ‘Who are these guys? How did I end up here?’

Thinking this, I instinctively tried to sit up, but my lower back protested fiercely, a stabbing pain knocking me back onto the bed just as I managed to sit up a little.

“You’re awake? Don’t move, you’re badly hurt and need to rest. Here, have some porridge to fill your stomach, you’ve been unconscious for a week.” A pretty young girl, about eighteen or nineteen, with two braided pigtails and wearing a floral cotton jacket, brought a steaming bowl of porridge to me.
